With all the discussion about the use of opiates (oxycodone, oxycontin, codeine, etc.) for pain control, we need alternatives to providing relief. Opiates have side effects, addiction dangers and overdose potential, while acupuncture has none of these. Even OTC pain meds such as Advil, Aleve and Aspirin have been shown to increase your risk of heart attack.

2. I'm needle-phobic! Who isn't?

Acupuncture needles are super thin, roughly the diameter of a human hair. They are inserted with little discomfort at all. Patients often feel a calming relaxation while they have acupuncture treatment.

3. Utilized for Thousands of years!

More people in the history of civilization on earth have been treated with acupuncture than any other health care system. Acupuncture is at least 3000 years old and is still a primary health care treatment in China.

4. Balance-Relaxation-Calm-Rejuvenation

Acupuncture can help balance your system, calm your mind and body, and can provide relief from insomnia, anxiety and the stress of life.

5. Endorsed by the World Health Organization

Treatment for 28 conditions have been proven effective through controlled studies, some of which are neck pain, back pain, headache and extremity pain. Arthritis, bursitis, strain and sprain often respond very well to acupuncture treatment.
